I’m a scientist obsessed with how creative activity improves mental health & I’ve taught classes on BBC Countryfile & at the V & A.
We’ll make & photograph small museums & there’s an hr long talk about how this alters brain biochemistry for the better...

When we look at plants (like the ones in my photo) for a few seconds (though I recommend 10 or 15 s), we recover from stress we experience afterwards around 60% more quickly than if we had not looked at plants (ref in next post).
May garden posy, to help with any stress that may be about to happen:

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

Actually it has worked excellently all it ever was, was a lie to reduce the taxes for the richest, and now they pay next to nothing.
To say it was a disaster is to believe they ever had an intention for anything else.
This is exactly what they wanted.
